veerry nice!!!! just one question...how is it the Fox has been knocked for such a poor hull design(wave pericing),yet many of the new models especially the A-cats are very similar??..


Simply because the others don't have the same hull design as the Fox and FX-one. There are significant differences. Sure they all have the raked back bows but saying that the hulls are the same as a result (similar) is almost like calling a red toyota and a red Pontiac the same (similar)

The raked back bow (and inclined decks etc) are not the key elements of a flyer hull design and it imitations.

I fear that that both the FOX and FX-one had received some heat because the failed to show an improvement over more conventional designs while the Flyer A-cats did show and edge over the more conventional A-cats. So somethign got wrong in the translations somewhere and many blame the design for that. Not entirely unfair I think. But I do admit that sometimes bad things are attributed to the Fox and FX-one that they don't deserve.
